hahah pete we saw yuor lock ups after trying to flat thru the kink.....skylines are just too fast to pull that trick off without great tyres.

but the mighty woos used to be flat thru there, led to some HGE offs there sometimes

sadly my balls are bigger than my skills ... thus the constant lock ups and spearing of the end of the track

but like all good drivers im going to blame teh car... :worship:

hi never done a track day but am interested,what would tyre wear be like on road tyres ,would i need a new set after the day?

slight mods with 290rwkw & ohlins suspension all round

not aiming to drive the tyres off it, but have heard that the track eats street tyres!

YLD CHLD,

For your first time out I would not worry too much about Tyres or Power, just dont turn up with shitty tyres as they are the only thing holding you on the road. If you put the recomended pressure say 36PSI you wont get any issues and maybe use 500km worth of tread and only do 200Km on the speedo. You are driving a GTR so endless wheel spin will not be an issue. Trust me you have many other things to learn and you car is well set up for a first timer.

guys this sounds great. I have been planning to do this sort of driver training/ track day for a while now. Never been on the track before though. Will there be at least some beginner level training with the instructors?

Overall the day sounds great ill arrange day off and send application if all goes well.

TutsR32,

Aaron or one of the other instructors takes all first timers out driving to show you the inital basics, you then get to drive with an instructor to apply the basics. First timers normally get as much instruction as they need. For example my wife had an instructor on her first day, every lap she did prior to lunch was with someone beside her. There will be more then enough.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
